- uplifting and rejuvenating
Wonderful music. As I traveled to Europe for the first time, a goal was to return with music that represented the countries I visited. The Lighthouse Family's Ocean Drive was perfect. Personally, I find their music peaceful, uplifting and rejuvenating. Having some personal issues that seem huge right now, this is perfect music by which to "heal". 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:
- Needed A Kickstart
When this album was first released in the Uk it didn't really have any impact until the single Lifted was released for the second time, and then we went mad. Lighthouse Family have a crisp new sound that is upbeat yet laid back at the same time. Ocean Drive contains the singles Ocean Drive, Lifted, Lovin Every Minute and Goodbye Heartbreak. This is a good album to chill out to and several years later this cd is still a resident in my player 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
- Something incredible happening
This debut album by the Lighthouse Family is one of those compilations that will slowly grow on you. I was actually introduced to this group through their second album, but this album shows where the quality originated.
Unique and beautiful are words that come to mind when describing songs like 'Lifted' and 'Ocean Drive'. The overall album is set out to near perfection.
Recommended to anyone interested in plain good music.

- Ocean Drive
I bought this cd... [and] played the track Ocean Drive for me with the purpose of elevating my mood. All I can say is that I am thrilled I made the purchase. It is the perfect CD to relax to or to go for a long drive to. You will NOT be sorry when adding this cd to your collection!!!!!! Customer review - July 17, 2000

- Outstanding
If you like rich vocals, strong melody, and upbeat tunes then think about Lighthouse Family. Both Postcards and Ocean Drive are strong CD's. Although Tunde has a unique voice, I hear some similarities to Seal's voice and M People's beat (also British bands). The CD's are strong all the way through. Great Summer music for hanging out with friends. Highly recommended. |
